1 Claim.

l The invention relates to a detachable pressing and anti-shine device for use on pressing machines, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form a part of the same.

The invention consists essentially of the novel features of construction as pointed out broadly and specically in the claim for novelty following a description containing an explanation in detail of an acceptable form of the invention.

The objects of the invention are to devise a means whereby material may be pressed without causing a shine thereto; to construct a device that is detachably secured to the pressing arm of a pressing machine, said device giving a specially padded surface to the pressing arm which, when contacting the material to be pressed, presses the material and at the same time prevents the material from becoming shiny; to furnish a detachable pressing surface for the pressing arm of a pressing machine, said device containing a special anti-shine padded portion, which does away with the old system of hand operation, thereby allowing the operator the use of both hands; and generally to provide a pressing device that will be easy to manufacture, simple of construction and use and efcient for its purpose. In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the device ready for application to the pressing arm of a shoulder machine.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the metal frame or holder showing the means of securing it to the pressing arm of the pressing machine.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the holder.

Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view of the device as taken on the lines 4-4 in Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a plan view of one of the cloth pads.

Figure 6 is a plan view of one of the wire mesh pads.

Figure '7 is an enlarged sectional view as taken on the lines 1-1 in Figure 1.

Figure 8 is a fragmentary perspective view of the shoulder arm of a shoulder pressing machine showing the detachable pressing and anti-shine device attached thereto.

Like numerals of reference indicates corresponding parts in the various figures.

Referring to the drawings. the detachable pressing and anti-shine device consists of a metal frame, as indicated by the numeral I0, said frame or holder being made of a single piece of thin metal of predetermined width and formed to the shape and size of the shoulder.; pressing arm of a shoulder machine or a larger frame the size 2 and shape of the trouser pressing arm of a trouser machine; and whose two ends are upwardly bent to form a neck portion or clamp II, said neck portion or clamp being fitted with a bolt I2 and a wing nut I3.

A piece of Iine wire mesh I 4. corresponding in shape to that of the metal frame I0 is removably attached to said frame. The edges of the wire mesh are turned up and a piece of cloth or felt is fastened around the wire mesh over the upturned edge, forming a border I5, said border being the width of the metal frame and being tted inside and around the frame and removably attached thereto by suitable means.

When attached to the metal frame or holder, the wire mesh provides a container into which is placed a series of separate pieces of a like Wire mesh IIS, and pieces of cloth I'I, each shaped to t within the frame overI the wire mesh face.

The anti-shine properties of the device are in the series of separate pieces of wire and cloth contained within the frame and in the order in which they are placed therein. In this device a separate piece of the same ne wire mesh is placed within the container and on top of the wire mesh face, next, a single piece of cloth I'l is placed on top of the piece of mesh, another piece of mesh is then placed on top of the piece of cloth followed by two pieces of cloth, one on top of the other, and finally a piece of wire mesh is placed over the cloth, the Whole making a padded section within the frame.

In the operation, the device is tted to the pressing arm I9 of the pressing machine, the frame of the device tting along the edge 20 of the pressing arm and having the wire mesh face out; the neck portion of the device being at the end of the pressing arm and being clamped tightly thereto by means of the bolt and nut. The surface of the pressing arm on the pressing machine consists of a fine Wire mesh covering which may or may not be removed before attaching the pressing and anti-shine device. When the device has been attached to the pressing arm it forms a padded surface to the pressing arm, which, when the machine is operated, presses the material and at the same time prevents it from shining.

The device does away with the necessity of the operator having to use a hand pad which he has to place over the material before the pressing arm makes contact. With this device the operator has both hands free for handling the machine and the material.

What We claim is:

In a detachable pressing and anti-shine device for use on pressing machines, a container adapted to be detachably secured on a pressing arm of a pressing machine, said container comprising a frame shaped to the edge contour of a predetermined pressing arm, a piece of ne Wire mesh having upturned edges, fabric secured over the upturned edges of said Wire mesh and forming a border therefor, and said wire mesh forming the 10 face of said container, a padded portion located Within said container and being removable. therefrom, said padded portion comprising a series of separate pieces of wire mesh and of cloth located Within the container in particular' arrangement one on top of the other and in Contact with the inner side of said Wire mesh face of the-container and said container as attached to the pressing arm providing the same with a pressing surface having anti-shine properties.
